The idea is not to use the tool to police cheating but rather to detectopportunities to educate and leverage the cheating incident as a teachable moment [3]. Anyadopted strategy to deal with cheating should be appropriate with transformative experiences oractivities that include reflecting, thinking, and developing new skills and experiences [4].Students who cheat are less likely to attain the course learning objectives. Thus, we shouldprovide them help and assistance to make sense of the experience and develop better decision-making skills. Otherwise, they may develop

(iii) Upon curing, some trusses have their bases geometrically distorted as a result of differential curing of individua joints. Initial loading causes the truss (joints and beams) to oriented with the loading axis, which is reflected by small sections of load- displacement relation. (iv) Beams do not fail under external tensile or compressive loads (Figure 3), but bending, which will be covered in subsequent course of ME 2355 Mechanics of Materials. Elastic modulus of the beams is therefore of secondary importance compared with the flexural rigidity. (v) Some joints fail as the glue is not properly cured

Thus, it is incumbent upon us aseducators and researchers to investigate the role of mentoring in the development of soft skills.This paper introduces an interdisciplinary model in a two-semester afterschool program, wherethe undergraduate engineering students and mathematics teacher candidates teamed up to serveas mentors for a group of high school students in an after-school robotics club.

BackgroundFounded in 1932 under the name Engineers' Council for Professional Development, ABET(formerly Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredits post-secondarydegree-granting programs. Many people interpret this to mean that ABET accredits departments,colleges, or even courses. In reality, ABET accredits programs, and your accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away
